The Sanctuary OF the Czar.

A St. Petersburg correspondent writes
The Palace OF GatschIns. so much spoken
OF lately, can not be compared with such
castles as Versailles. San-Souci, or Schon-
brunn. 1t has nothing of the artistic en-
bellshment OF the one, the historical mem
cries OF the other, or the landscape beauty
and comfort of the third. Situated ID the
middle Of o wide and desert plain, it has no
pretty surroundings, and built without lux
ury It's exterior does not make an imposing
impression. The reason that, in spite or
this, IL hes been chosen as a residence by the
Gar since his accession to the throne is no
doubt that it lies nearest to the capital and
is so Isolated aud capable Of ISOLATION, that
with the application OF all lie means IN
which Russia is richer than most countries,
the approach OF unwisned-for individuals
can be prevented. Gatschiua lies between
Zarskoje Selo and Krasnoje-Selo, and the
roads from each of the places to the Imper-
ia palace, which have private court railway
stations, are placed under particular super
vision, and may not be used except by the
court. a high wall rncloses the park, in the
center of which is the palace, and this wall
Is protected by patrols, which never leave
Tie outer circle nor the park itself for one
moment out of sight. The entrance was,
and is, only permitted by special order.
The head Of the Imperial security police,
General Tschwerin, and the head of the
Imperial headquarters, General Richter,
guard the place with especial care, so that
the Isolation OF Gatschina is considered so
perfect that the royal family can abide there
in absolute peace. Though the superin-
tendence is 90 strict. 1t is said that the in
habitants Of the palace are not, and must
not be- aware of il. Their pleasures and
comforts are Hot impaired by it and all the
amusements that could be agreeable TO the
Emperor and his family-drives, hunts,
riding. fishing, rowing, evening parties,
theatrical representations, etc. can be par
taken of. Adjoining the well tended. park
Is an extensive wocd-hke the park-sur-
rounded by wall and guarded. In the
park itself are two lake like basins Of water !;
the palace contains splendid sal oons, and
two colonnades which afford agreeable
ptomena AIDES in bad weather all this aids In
preventing the Inhabitants from feeling
anything of the anxious and neyer-tiring
supervisor held over them, and the want of
more charming surroundings.

a Good Story.

From Ohio comes a capital temperance
story. Judge Quay, the temperance lecturer,
in one Of his efrOts there, got off the follow
ing:
All of those who In youth acquire habit
OF drinking whiskey, at forty years will be
total sbstainers or drunkards. No one can
use whisky for years in moderation. II
there is person In the audience before me
whose experience disputes this, let him
make it known. / will account for II, or
acknowledge that am mistaken
A tall, large man arose. and folding his
arms in q dignified manner across his breast
said:
i offer myself as one whose own expert
ence contradicts you statement
Are you a moderate drinker?' asked the
judge

How long have you drank in moderation
Forty years
And you were never intoxicated?'
Never
Well remarked the judge, scanning his
subject close from head to foot. yours is
singular case, vet / think it Is easily ac-
counted for. l am reminded by it of little
story. a negro man, with a loaf of bread
and flask of whisky, sat down to dine by
the bank of clear stream. In breaking the
bread, SONS of the crumbs dropped into the
water. These were eagerly seized and eaten
by the fish. That circumstance suggested
the darkey the idea of dipping the bread IN
the whisky and feeding it to them. He
tried it; it worked well. Some OF the fish
ate it, beca me drunk, and 1Oated helpless
on the water. By this stroke of strategy he
caught great number. But in the stream
was large fish unlike the rest. He partook
freely of the bread and whisky, but with no
effect; he Was shy of every effort
of the darkeY 20 take it.
He resolved 10 have it all hazards, that
he might learn its name and nature. He
procured net, and after much effort caught
it, carried it to negro, neighboI, and asked
his opinion of the matter. The other sur
veyed the wonder for while, then said:
''Sambo, understand dis case. Dat fish
is a mullet-h head; it hasn't got any brains.'
In other WORDS added the judge, 'alco-
hol affects only the brain, and of course
those having none may drink without in
iury!"
The storm of laughter that followed drove
the moderate drinker from the house.

1.-The Queens Pipe"

In the centre of the tobacco warehouses
at the London docks there is an immense
kiln. which is kept continually burning,
day and night, and goes by the name of the
queens tobacco pipe. The English gov
eminent has a different way Of treating con-
fiscated articles than that in this country,
one of them being to utilize them as fuel for
what is termed the queens smoking.
Whenever merchandise is seized for non
p ayment of duty, or because it is considered
under the law as in damaged OF unsala
BILE condition, it is taken to this great kiln
nd burned there-the owners have no rem
edy. The only utilization that is made Of
these seizures is from the sale of the ashes
from :he furnace. which amount TO a great
many tons month, are sold by auction to
chemical works, and 10 farmers and others
to be used In enriching the soil. There is a
simila: but smaller queens tobacco pipe
in the government tobacco warehouses at
Liverpool, these two forming the points OF
destruction for all confiscated merchandise
in the United Kingdom.

Fish Ponds In sprIngy places.

When it becomes des iTab!e to construct a
fish pond in place were there are springs,
or TO dam up the water and make pond In
a springy place, it is q good plan to cover
the spring with several loads OF gravel for
the fish to spawn on. The borders Of such
a pond should be made very shallow, So that
the little fish may run up in the shallow
water and escape the large fish, or have the
pond so arranged that after the fish have
spawned, the large ones may be removed.
By so doing, the eggs will hatch ont and the
young fish will grow without danger When
the next season Of spawning comes, the lit
tie fish may be removed into another pond
and the old ones let in to spawn again.
Such pond is especially adapted for per
sons who cannot devote great deal OF time
to it, and who desire to manage it with rs
little care as possible. 10 this way e good
many fish can be raised with out much
trouble. The gravel must be sifted and he
fine parts rejected;nOne smaller than a hicA-
cry nut should be used, and from that TO a
good sized hens egg.
Not infrequentiy the bottom OF such
pond is porous and aDsoIbS the water nearly

Allen, of this place, while excavating the
foundation for new mill struck the dome
of cavern Of immense proportions from
which a strong current of cold air issued
with great force as they made the opening.
Torches were procured and Mr.. Allen and
Mr.. Gain Hurst were lowered down by
means of a windlass. It was about sixty
feet from the surface to the hoor of the
cave, which they found to be level and
sandy, as If it was once the bed of an
ancient subterranean stream.
They followed the main avenue for q
distance of over two miles and discovered
an opening in q cliff on the farm of Mr.,
Benjamin Wilson, and a well-beaten path
was et1sily discerned, that was once trod by
hur.tsn beings, although ii is now in many
places covered with forest trees and under,

accounts for that. The Judge is credited
with keeping the best brands OF "hilarity"

to make all sorts of noises, regardless Of
consequences or proprieties. That was
what they were there for. As matter of

the historical accuracy OF any of the decla-

The ponies did not stop to consider that
the Republican party, instead of protecting
the National domain, had stolen from the
people at least 200, 900. 900 acres of the do

When it was said that "the Republican
